PARIS
--Eutelsat Communications and Belgium
Satellite Services announced the signature of a new long-term contract for
46 MHz of C-band capacity on the Eutelsat 10A satellite.

The contract reflects BSS’s intent to increase its activity in Africa and the
Middle East, and follows its acquisition, completed last month, of Intersat, a
provider of satellite-based data solutions with offices in Kenya and the United
Arab Emirates. The new capacity on Eutelsat 10A will allow BSS to expand VSAT
services for the client base of more than 150 businesses, NGOs and government
administrations built by Intersat in more than 25 countries in Africa and the
Middle East, and to develop new business. Networks will be managed by BSS using
its teleport in Lessive, Belgium, and ground station equipped with the latest iDirect
technology.

The FAA’s current rules and proposed ban on flight over people, requirement of visual line of sight and restriction on nighttime flying, effectively prohibit broadcasters from using UAS for newsgathering. ~ WMUR-TV General Manager Jeff Bartlett
